REPORTER: "Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?"
TRUMPEDO: "It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before."
Trumpedo complained today that he needed to cut a healthcare roundtable short because "I have a couple of meetings that are very important" and those meetings turned out to be heading down to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend on the taxpayers' dime.
Sounds like he needed to pay a little more attention.
But nevermind, his "great healthcare plan" will be unveiled in two weeks.

God on Earth Trump has been on a real "affordability" binge: 50 year mortgages, 10% credit card interest, pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates, cheaper health insurance. There was a piece on the wire today about him announcing a push to lower utility bills.
My rule of thumb: if he says Congress needs to pass legislation, rather than doing it by decree, it is not a serious proposal. By the time Congress starts to move on anything, assuming industry lobbyists don't kill it in committee, it will be next November, and all the "affordability" chatter will be forgotten the moment the votes are counted.
